IPInfo

The IPInfo structure defines the initial matching criteria for a rule and includes the protocol, src address and port, destination address and port, and direction. Some of the standard strings and variables are predefined - any, HOME_NET, HTTP_SERVERS, HTTP_PORTS, etc.

typedef struct _IPInfo
{
    u_int8_t protocol;
    char *   src_addr;
    char *   src_port; /* 0 for non TCP/UDP */
    char     direction;     /* non-zero is bi-directional */
    char *   dst_addr;
    char *   dst_port; /* 0 for non TCP/UDP */
} IPInfo;
